DAVID McGILL was wanted by Spanish police along with his brother Edward over a bust-up in a brothel near Malaga five years ago over which Harrison was jailed last month.

SHAMED boxer Scott Harrison’s cousin, who is at the centre of an international manhunt over a knife brawl in a
Spanish brothel, has been stabbed to death.

David McGill was murdered in an attack
in Glasgow more than a year ago but details of the killing were not made public by Strathclyde Police.

Their counterparts in Spain had been seeking McGill and his brother Edward, 41, over the bust-up in the Oxigeno brothel in Alhaurin el Grande, near Malaga, in 2007.

Last month, Harrison, 35, was convicted by a Spanish court of assault in the brothel and sentenced to four years in prison.

The
former world champ – who was not in court – was only freed from a Spanish jail in September 2011 after serving a 30-month sentence for another assault near Malaga in 2005.

He is expected to launch an appeal to avoid an immediate return to prison.

The McGill brothers were arrested with Harrison and should have faced trial alongside him.

But both changed their surname to Cairns by deed poll two years after being lifted for the 2007 attack.

After
the Sunday Mail set out to track them down, we discovered David had been murdered in June 2011. Meanwhile, Edward is living at an address in
Glasgow.

David was stabbed in the heart in Priesthill on June 7 and died four days later in hospital. He had married his childhood sweetheart Sandra Robson less than four months before.

Andrew McGarry, 32, was found guilty of the murder and sentenced to life in prison.

There
was no sign of Edward when we approached his home in Anniesland last week. He is registered as living there since last year and he used the address when he was a witness at David’s wedding.

Victor
Montero, the lawyer representing the alleged Spanish victims, said: “David and Edward McGill are being hunted by the Spanish authorities and
have been declared in contempt of court.

“The
accusations against them haven’t been withdrawn and the crimes they’re charged with won’t become spent for nearly another five years.”

Harrison and his cousins were picked up by police shortly after the attack four years ago.

Scott Harrison

Dad-of-three Harrison was sentenced to
four years after being found guilty of assaulting three men – Francisco
Gonzalez, Salvador Jimenez and Rafael Sainz.

He was also fined £960 and ordered to pay more than £8000 in compensation to his victims, including £1600 to brothel owner Gonzalez, who lost a tooth.

Gonzalez originally told police it was Edward McGill who punched him but he identified Harrison in court as the attacker.

He
claimed three men were involved in the assault, adding: “It looked as if they were enjoying themselves as they kicked and punched their victims. I thought they were going to kill one of them.

“I’ve worked in the club scene for more than 30 years and seen many fights but never anything like what happened that night.”

Scottish
Conservative chief whip John Lamont said: “It’s crucial for police forces across the world to be able to share information quickly and easily. It would appear that has not been the case on this occasion.

“That
doesn’t bode well for the creation of the single force, which will have
to put communication between new departments at the top of their list of priorities.”
